Ep 350Tell It Avs It Is - Conflicting Reports - S4

E

After blowing a 4-0 lead to the Arizona Coyotes, the Avalanche pulled out a tough road win in St. Louis, even if it was statistically one of their worst offensive performances. What is this team's real form? Even after all the frustration with this team, the Avalanche still sit first place in the Central and only a few wins back of first place in the entire NHL. What can be done to help push this team over the top to being Stanley Cup favorites? Will Sam Girard and Lehkonen coming back to the lineup in the near future help stabilize things.Welcome to The Tell It Avs It Is Podcast, your home for everything Colorado Avalanche on The Hockey Podcast Network!

Ep 349Tell It Avs It Is - The Christmas Spirit - S4

E

It's a Merry Christmas for the Avalanche after two straight wins over the Ottawa Senators and Arizona Coyotes. Nathan MacKinnon pushed his point streak to eighteen games in a row, and should easily be the leading Hart candidate at this point of the season. The Avs have had their struggles their season, but at the holiday break they sit tied for the first in the Central. How close are they to being a team that is a Stanley Cup favorite? Are they already there? How much will getting Girard and Lehkonen back in the near future help?Welcome to The Tell It Avs It Is Podcast, your home for everything Colorado Avalanche on The Hockey Podcast Network!

Ep 348Tell It Avs It Is - Boiling Points - S4

E

Consistency and injuries are plaguing the Avalanche right now more than ever following a 3-2 loss to the league worst Chicago Blackhawks. Officiating did them no favors, but they put themself in that position with sloppy play and disappearing acts outside of the top line. With no Makar to hide issues the last three games, it's becoming more clear that there's more work to be done on this roster before the trade deadline, both with adding and subtracting players from the lineup. What could those options be, and how realistic can that be? Welcome to The Tell It Avs It Is Podcast, your home for everything Colorado Avalanche on The Hockey Podcast Network!

Ep 347Tell It Avs It Is - Tomas Tatar traded to Seattle - S4

E

Tomas Tatar's time in Colorado is over, having now been traded to the Seattle Kraken in exchange for a 2024 5th round pick. Is there another move coming as a result? Where does this leave the Avalanche in the meantime? In game notes, the Avalanche defeated the Buffalo Sabres 5-1 in Erik Johnson's emotional return to Colorado, and saw the emergence of Sam Malinski. However, Cale Makar's minutes were limited, and missed practice again. It's time to consider putting a stop to this and get him back to 100%.

Ep 346Tell It Avs It Is - Through the Fire and the Flames - S4

E

The Avalanche saved themselves from disaster, pulling out a 6-5 win over after being down 5-3 to the Calgary Flames out from the jaws of defeat to end their slide following a 5-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. Tomas Tatar finally scored a goal, Mikko Rantanen's drought is over, and MacKinnon continues to dominate. But should we just forget how the Avs got themselves in that position to need a comeback in the first place? Is there cause for concern with Alex Georgiev as we approach the 30 game mark of the season? Also, is everything ok with Rantanen and Lehkonen following Rantanen's postgame comments?Welcome to The Tell It Avs It Is Podcast, your home for everything Colorado Avalanche on The Hockey Podcast Network!

E

The same problems for the Avalanche continue as they put the lines in a blender due to injuries, and sneak by the Ducks before watching too many mistakes cost them an important game against the Jets. Nathan MacKinnon is back to his dominant ways, but Mikko Rantanen is very not, and the Avalanche need that fire back from him soon. With the top line still getting well over 25 minutes a night, there are clearly some changes that need to be made. Who's going to be left on the inevitable chopping block?

E

The Avalanche go winless on the west coast road trip, but still bring home two points with a shootout loss to Anaheim, and running out of gas against the Kings the next day. At the end of the day, Colorado needs more from MacKinnon and Rantanen, especially if Makar is out. Even if their point production has been fine, the domination has not been there for awhile. What could be the recipe for unlocking that level from them again, and getting more from your second line? Also, what would it look like if the NHL instituted a College Football style playoff picked by a shadow council?Welcome to The Tell It Avs It Is Podcast, your home for everything Colorado Avalanche on The Hockey Podcast Network!

E

The Avalanche's win streak ends in Arizona against the Coyotes with a 4-3 overtime loss, in only the second overtime game of the season. Despite the loss, still salvaging a point is palatable, though there are some performances that need to be better. With a back to back coming up over the weekend against the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings, the Avs are going to need to bring their all to end up with a positive result on this road trip.

The Avalanche have hit the quarter mark of the season following wins over the Calgary Flames and Tampa Bay Lightning, so it's time to look at where this team stands 25% of the way through the year. Is this team living up to expectations? Who's outperformed those expectations, and who's dissapointed? What can improve?

What was that? The Avalanche suffered a historic collapse in the final minute against the Nashville Predators, losing 4-3 in regulation when they held the lead with under a minute to play. Off the heels of a phenomenal 6-3 comeback victory in Dallas over the Stars after being down 3-0, it just makes this result all the more frustrating and confusing.
